On Saturday, the National Policy Institute (NPI), an organization aligned with the “alt-right” movement, assembled in Washington, D.C. to celebrate Donald Trump’s election to the presidency. They were met with vehement protest by hundreds of D.C. locals, who marched down Pennsylvania Avenue to condemn the group’s…

This is a brutal and bewildering time for so many people in the United States, but immigrants have particular cause for terror. Jezebel spoke to several immigration attorneys about conversations they’ve had with their panicked clients since Donald Trump was elected. The attorneys themselves say they’re concerned a…

Last week, Grammy-winning musician Lila Downs released “El Demagogo”/“The Demagogue,” her first song since 2015's sublime Balas y Chocolate, as part of the 30 Days 30 Songs anti-Trump initiative. Sung in both English and Spanish, it’s a beautiful folk song that lays out the numerous issues with Trump and his virulent…

In August, the Justice Department announced that it would phase out its use of private prisons, which profit off the incarceration of roughly 22,0000 inmates at the federal level (this decision does not affect state prisoners). Only about 12 percent of the United States inmate population are locked away in private…

Jesse Watters’ hideously offensive Chinatown segment for The O’Reilly Factor has gotten plenty of attention since it was inexplicably aired on television, triggering protests outside Fox News, and even a derisive statement from New York City mayor Bill de Blasio.

Are you so unimpressed with our presidential candidates? Thinking about voting for Jill “who knows about vaccines” Stein, or Gary “what is Aleppo” Johnson instead? “It’s so hard to choose between two equally bad options!” you sigh. “Might as well go with a third party, that makes me feel nice.”

What image do the words “residential center” conjure in your mind? Perhaps a place where people live of their own volition. A rehab center, maybe, or a college dorm. But for migrants who have been held at the Berks County Residential Center in Leesport, Pennsylvania for days, months, even a year, it means a place they…

In a speech Wednesday night, spray tanned blobfish Donald Trump took the stage at a rally in Phoenix and spoke at length about immigration, following a visit to Mexico. Lest you thought any talk of “softening” his immigration policies were actually going to come to true, I have some very bad news for you: they’re not.…

Donald Trump, a parking cone with emotional issues, spent last week indicating that he might be open to “softening” his stances on immigration. Turns out that didn’t feel as tingly in his bathing suit area, so now we’re back to this:

Donald Trump, a horrible man with hair like used dental floss and ideas that threaten the definition of democracy as we know it, has begun his public about-face on the one issue that has defined the tone of his dangerous and bigoted campaign: immigration.

Melania Trump, wife of the poster monster for legal immigration for nonthreatening Europeans, may not have followed the letter of the law when she immigrated to the United States in the ‘90s, according to a new report from Politico.

Women’s Wear Daily recently spotted some Trump campaign merchandise at the Republican National Convention with American Apparel labels. This struck many as odd, since American Apparel has marketed itself on liberal values; additionally, AA employs a large (if shrinking) immigrant workforce in its Los Angeles…

Code Pink, the women-led anti-war grassroots organization, has descended upon the Republican National Convention, staging protests and voicing their opposition to the militaristic and anti-refugee rhetoric so pervasive amongst the GOP.

During a discussion of Melania Trump, who is scheduled to speak at the Republican Nation Convention Monday night, Newt Gingrich pointed out to Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that Donald Trump’s wife is not only very hot, but also from a place that is not here.

Home Secretary Theresa May is expected to replace British Prime Minister David Cameron after the only other remaining Conservative candidate, Andrea Leadsom, withdrew on Monday. Theresa May will be the UK’s first woman Prime Minister since Margaret Thatcher.

The Supreme Court issued a split decision today on whether an immigration plan created by President Obama through an executive order was constitutional. In English: the Supreme Court deadlocked 4-4 and the plan, which would have prevented millions of people from facing deportation, has been blocked. That means next…

Donald Trump, a dangerous and stupid bigot who I do not have the heart to give a silly nickname to right now, renewed his call Monday to ban Muslims from immigrating to the United States. He also said as president he would ban immigration from countries with “a history of terrorism.” So, all of them. All the countries.

In the midst of what should be a relatively innocuous conversation about legislative spending, Congress has rekindled the clash over illegal immigration. This March, the Library of Congress ceased usage of the term “illegal alien,” arguing that it is demeaning. Republicans, bless ‘em, want the term to be reinstated.

When I was a senior in high school, I was too young to vote, but definitely old enough to be one of those unbearable people who insist they’re totally moving to Canada if [X politician] wins. I routinely threatened my parents that I’d move to Canada if George W. Bush was reelected.
